After nine lifetimes of reincarnation, the yandere villainous heroine descends.

Thinking of this, the girl curled up even closer into Shen Shuchou's arms.

She gently stroked Shen Shuchou's face with one hand and whispered, "Brother Shen, Qinghan likes you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Fifth Qinghan stared at Shen Shuchou with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. She desperately wanted him to hear, yet she was also afraid of being overheard.

A blush slowly crept onto her beautiful face, and even her earlobes were tinged with red.

This is a manifestation of a young girl's heartfelt words, whispered softly beside him on this night, in this small room.

Seeing that Shen Shuchou had no reaction, the girl closed her eyes without realizing it and gradually drifted off to sleep.

After the girl fell asleep, Shen Shuchou slowly opened his eyes, illuminated by the burning candlelight.

Shen Shuchou glanced at the sleeping girl beside him, lost in thought.

He then tried to get up and return to his room, but as soon as he moved, the girl next to him hugged him tightly, seemingly very afraid that he would leave.

After failing to get up, Shen Shuchou simply gave up. The young girl experienced the first major change in her life and witnessed the full bloom of slaughter.

She should be extremely tired now, and Shen Shuchou did not want to disturb her by getting up.

Shen Shuchou simply closed his eyes again; the small room was very quiet.

The only sounds were the girl's breathing and the candlelight burning in the room.

Silent all night.

......

......

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window, dappling the room.

Fifth Qinghan slowly woke up, and in her sleepy state, she realized that she was still tightly holding Shen Shuchou.

Instantly, the thought of sleeping with Shen Shuchou in her arms all night brought a blush back to her cheeks.

She carefully released her hand, stole a glance at Shen Shuchou, and saw that he was still asleep, secretly relieved.

However, just as she stood up, Shen Shuchou also woke up.

Their eyes met, and Fifth Qinghan was momentarily flustered and at a loss, her hands unconsciously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.

Looking at her like this, Shen Shuchou's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes quickly filled with confusion as he asked, "Where am I now? How did you end up in bed?"

Fifth Qinghan's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head and muttered softly, "Brother Shen...you're awake."

Her little brain was slightly blank; she was still thinking about how to explain.

Seeing her so flustered and helpless, Shen Shuchou found it even more amusing.

And now!

The door creaked open from the outside.

Fifth Shu Shuang's beautiful figure walked in from outside. When she saw the scene inside the room, her delicate body was slightly startled.

At this moment, Fifth Qinghan was lying on top of Shen Shuchou, and this posture appeared extremely ambiguous at the moment when the first light of dawn appeared.

"elder sister!"

Upon seeing Wu Shushuang's sudden arrival, a look of panic instantly appeared on Wu Qinghan's face. She stood up helplessly and hurriedly got off Shen Shuchou.

Only after being reminded by the sound did she realize that her sister was right beside her.

Fifth Shushuang naturally saw Fifth Qinghan's actions clearly. Although she didn't quite understand, she could more or less understand what her sister was doing by pinching that spot.

Especially after seeing the two of them when she opened the door, Fifth Shu Shuang glanced at Fifth Qing Han again, and a different emotion flashed in the depths of her eyes.

But she didn't say anything. Instead, she turned to look at Shen Shuchou and was surprised to find that he had woken up at some point.

Seeing this, Fifth Shushuang's face instantly went from worry to joy. He hurriedly went to the bedside and asked anxiously, "Brother Shen, you're awake! Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

The slightly awkward atmosphere from before quietly dissipated. Shen Shuchou shook his head slightly and whispered, "It's all right now."

"I'm sorry, Brother Shen. It's my fault for failing to keep an eye on Qinghan. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been hurt like this."

Fifth Book Shuang then continued.

Upon hearing this, Fifth Qinghan lowered his head slightly and secretly glanced at Shen Shuchou out of the corner of his eye.

The latter gave her a faint smile, which made Fifth Qinghan lower her head even further.

"It's alright, it's not her fault."

Shen Shuchou smiled calmly and then got up from the bed.

"You two talk first, I'll go and let my father and mother know."

After saying this, Shen Shuchou quickly darted past the two women and left through the door.

The room was instantly left with only the fifth sister and her brother. The cold morning breeze slipped in through the crack in the door, dispelling the remaining warmth.

Fifth Sister moved gracefully to Fifth Sister Qinghan's side and tentatively asked, "Sister, have you fallen for Brother Shen?"

Upon hearing this, Fifth Qinghan's body trembled slightly, and her small hands clenched into fists.

She did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a moment, as if gathering her courage.

The fifth book asks this question only to test whether the younger sister is in love with Brother Shen.

In her view, she was going to marry Shen Shuchou sooner or later, and she was really worried about her younger sister's timid nature. The best solution was for the sisters to marry Shen Shuchou together.

Fifth Shushuang had previously worried about what would happen if her younger sister disliked or was unhappy if she married Shen Shuchou.

But at this moment, it seems that this worry is about to disappear.

What she didn't know was that these words, when they reached Fifth Qinghan's ears, took on a different meaning, sounding more like a question from the person in question.

"Doesn't your sister like it?"

Fifth Qinghan finally raised his head and spoke.

She seemed to be resolving her sister's problem by asking a rhetorical question, but in reality, she was also indirectly revealing her true feelings.

Fifth Sister could easily tell that she just thought her younger sister was shy.

"How could one not be moved by the sight of that plum blossom standing proudly against the snow beneath the silvery-white curtain?"

Fifth Shu Shuang gazed out the window and murmured softly.

That was the scene of their first meeting, and that plum blossom braving the snow was thus deeply planted in the girl's heart from beneath the silvery-white backdrop.
